It's for your collection, you don't plan on selling it....I don't see a problem. My problem is with the company that's making them. That's theft of IP. But your in the clear.
If its your collection and makes you happy...who gives a flip if its "Official" or not. The world has too much negative crap to not enjoy what you can.
That’s cool. I was able to get in on the tail end of the REAL captain Spaulding pops before the price increase. But a couple years after, i bought my buddy a fake and he was cool with it. It was only $10 and he just wanted to have it in his collection
You do you buddy. I get bootlegs sometimes because alot are hard to find or too expensive. It's for me to keep and display them. I like em and having fun collecting them. So have fun!
Well full disclosure, I personally dislike TEMU and that’s due to the labor they use and the IP theft. My thoughts on fake pops is that if they are never marketed as real and it’s your collection, do you. You don’t plan on selling but anyone after you (if they retain value that long) might and that would suck to the potential buyer. I don’t worry about that really happening though. I have debated do it because I really want the Ghost Face and I’ve just got into collecting them. Talked myself out of it though. Enjoy your collection!
I'm so against people purchasing fake Funko pops. This is so bad for the Funko Pop community, because sooner or later these fakes make their way into our community.
Mike got a temu fake ghostface too ..he likes it ..there not for me but I’m glad you like it! If I’m gunna get a funko signed I want it to be real! I’m not gunna sell mine either ..good video -josh
I’ve actually gotten a Wednesday pop from Temu and it scanned on the app and actually came up (as that pop)…could it be that they had the box made well enough that it has the number on it?
So there is a few ways the biggest is the serial number and batch number on their feet, blood painting on the knife, boarders and lettering used for movies. It’s also hard because they did 2 waves of Ghostface funkos, one in which Ghostface is all one word and the other where it is space as in Ghost Face. Original Funko of either type will get you over $400 most likely
I love TEMU except..their hats always come squashed and bent and they lose their shape and are basically worthless to wear. Everything else I ever got from them was perfect.
